Lesley, who has spent the last three seasons as the defensive coordinator at East Mississippi Community College, will coach on the defensive side of the ball at Troy.
"We are excited to welcome Jordan back to Troy," Brown said. "His track record as a defensive coach is outstanding with a pair of national championships, numerous All-Americans and top-ranked defenses. Jordan has been a defensive coordinator at three different junior colleges and has proven himself as a top-level recruiter. He loves Troy and coaches the game with a lot of energy."
To say that Lesley's defenses at East Mississippi were dominant would be an understatement as the Lions won a pair of NJCAA National Championships during his tenure and twice held opponents to under 10 points per game over the course of a season.
